In today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson assess the promises made by President Donald Trump in his inauguration speech, from combatting DEI to securing the border, and the messages between the lines.
“Here's my point: Trump was blunt, maybe even crude. He said he was going to eventually — we would have the Panama Canal. He was going to rename the Gulf of Mexico, the ‘Gulf of America,’ and people were kind of hysterical, in their reactions. But it's the way he said it and his directness and his candor and his honesty that bothered them.”
“It reminded me of the great seal of the United States, “Novus Ordo Seclorum,” a new order for the ages or for the centuries. That comes from Virgil's Eclogues, the great Latin poet, when he was talking about the birth of a new Roman generation—in particular descendants of Augustus—that would change Rome forever. And our founders in 1776 put it on the seal. And you see it emblazoned on the $1 bill. And that's the type of mood he's trying to encourage.”

Ping! Out to the Victor Davis Hanson list
From the comments: Please answer how it is Constitutional for a president to pardon someone who has not been charged with a crime also that encompasses a defined period of years? This needs to be taken to the Supreme Court.
